High Point

Location: 7135 E. Camelback Rd., #175 in Scottsdale, AZ 

Scottsdale is famous for three things: spring training baseball, U of A honeys, and High Point's selection of Nikes, Jordans, and Vans. Fresh off a flight and realize your luggage is missing a pair from the must rotation for a weekend? They got you. 

Mr. R Sports

Location: 408 Lincoln Rd. in Miami Beach, FL 

Creeping up on 40 years in the game, Mr. R Sports is one of the best stops for kicks in not only the south but the world. If you stay connected with their site and our homie Sneakerbox Clyde, you already know that they are putting out the best products and working with more heat than Bron-Bron and company in South Beach. Thanks us at the end of the year when you cleaned up on the "Best of 2012" sneaker list via Mr. R. 

Nice Kicks 

Location: 2815B Guadalupe St. in Austin, TX

First Matt Halfhill dropped the best sneaker blog in the game and followed it up with one of the dopest sneaker shops. The grand opening brought in sneaker hall of fame personalities like Bun B, DJ Clark Kent, G-Roc, and our own Joe La Puma. It didn't take long before the shop got its weight up with limited release sneakers, Jordans that fly off the shelves in minutes, and even Halfhill's own collaborative creations. SXSW is a must for us all, and swinging by the shop makes the trip even that much more trill. 

Oneness 

Location: 287 S. Limestone, Ste 150 in Lexington, KY

Shipping worldwide isn't usually seen, so even if you can't make it to the South you can still get laced correctly by Oneness. They got the hottest sneaker right now stocked (Nike Roshe Run), some dope adidas, and Supras in case you want some real high-tops in your rotation. 

Shoe Gallery

Location: 224 NE Ave 1st Ave in Miami, FL 

One of the hottest spots in MIA not only for the kicks but the dope events that they hold. But back to the topic at hand — if you're in need of some limited Brons or other legit kicks, they got you. 

Sneaker Politics 

Location: 3504 Severn Ave. in Metairie, LA

Nike runners, adidas Skateboarding, and Jeremy Scotts are just a few of the kicks you will find on the shelf in this N'awlins shop. The decor is sick too — Beastie Boys, buffalos, and Michael Jordans, just a few of our favorite things. 

Social Status 

Location: 1519 Central Ave. in Charlotte, NC

The homies at Social Status keep lacing North Carolina with the hottest Nike runners, Dunks, LeBrons, and many more. If you get a chance to hit up Charlotte to try out for the Bobcats or make a little trip to a Duke/UNC game, this shop is a must. 

UNKNWN 

Location: 19501 Biscayne Blvd. in Aventura, FL  

The iPads posted up next to each kick showcasing them is one of the illest concepts yet. It's a Miami spot (that LeBron James himself owns), so you know Nikes are a must, they also go high end with the kicks and clothes. If you're trying to get right for the night, whether it's a house party or paying $22 for a vodka and tonic at the club, they got the shoes and attire to get you right. 

Walter's Clothing 

Location: 66 Decatur St. in Atlanta, GA 

Walter's is one of the best spots in the south thanks to their shelves full of classic adidas, ASICS, Nikes, and Vans. The stop makes it easy if you're just browsing to stack up on some timeless musts, but they also come through with some limited joints that the whole city isn't messing with. 

Wish Atlanta 

Location: 447 Moreland Ave. NE in Atlanta, GA 

Just peep the heat when you click on the site — quickstrike Nikes, Missoni x Converse collabs, and the best performance kicks you need for your game. In case you aren't that athletic, still the best performance kicks you need for your game. See what we did there? Spend a little to get a little, its evident in the girls' Instagram likes when you post your latest Js.
